Important Dates Coming Up:
Contemporary Ensemble has been invited to join with the Adult Choir for the Virtual Rochester Community Christmas Concert this year which will be recorded at St. Andrews prior to the air date of the concert. We will sing: “Love Has Come” and “The Wassail Song” (Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too… etc) Because of this, it will require some combined rehearsals to make sure we sing well together. Here is the schedule. (Instruments are also invited to play for the recording.) We will also record “Hallelujah Chorus” which will be combined with all the other groups to make a “masses chorus” effect for the last song of the concert. (We’ll be rehearsing these three songs for the most part.)
